I have always wanted to be an attorney. My Father, Jerome M. Hoffman, (may he rest in peace) was a lawyer who was highly respected throughout this community. He was my mentor and instilled in me a strong work ethic which always included service to the community.
I was raised to believe that the profession of law is a noble one of the highest order. He made sure I understood the concepts of respect, dignity and integrity. I strive to serve my clients with those same tenets.
My goal, as an attorney is to create outcomes which improve the lives of our clients in concrete ways. We are partners with our clients.

A divorce lawyer helps you if you no longer want to be married. Whether you want a legal separation or the marriage ended, divorce lawyers assist you to arrange financial and family matters, typically in a negotiation with your spouse's lawyer. Alimony, child custody, child support, and a fair division of community assets (like who keeps the house or how your checking and savings accounts are divided) are matters that a divorce lawyer is trained to help determine.

The mediation process can help you resolve disputes without going to court. In mediation, a neutral third party (a mediation lawyer or mediator) meets with you and the person you disagree with. Mediators are trained to find mediation solutions in legal disputes, including divorce mediation and business disagreement mediation. The mediator acts as a facilitator, helping you negotiate until a solution is found. Mediation is the most informal process for dispute resolution.

When you marry, you enter a relationship contract with your spouse that entitles you as a couple to certain legal rights and responsibilities. Family lawyers specializing in marriage can write prenuptial agreements for a couple before marriage. A prenuptial agreement can be especially important if you have financial interests you've accrued earlier in life and wish to clarify how they will or won't be shared with your new spouse. A written prenuptial agreement sets out the financial expectations

I recently used Sheree Hoffman for a mediation in a divorce case. She was professional, kind, and very effective. My client really enjoyed having Ms. Hoffman as a mediator. I would not hesitate to use her as a mediator again.

Sheree is a longstanding member of the Memphis legal community and is a professional, intelligent attorney with significant experience in complex domestic litigation. She is also a Rule 31 certified mediator and I have worked with her successfully both as opposing counsel and as a mediator. I highly recommend her services.
Mary Yarbrough, Family Attorney on Jan 4, 2013
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I have worked with Sheree on numerous occasions. She has mediated cases for me, and she has been my opposing counsel. In all settings Sheree has been impeccably professional and knowledgeable. I especially respect her for her personal and professional integrity. She truly cares about her clients and her community.

John Anderson, Mediation Attorney on Apr 11, 2012
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Ms, Hoffman is widely known in the Memphis and Shelby County area as one of the best and most effective mediators available for divorce, custody and other family law matters. She has been very effective in helping to work out a practical and fair settlement on some of the most difficult cases presented to her
Nick Rice, Mediation Attorney on Mar 7, 2012
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Sheree Hoffman is an accomplished family lawyer, which makes her that much more effective when it comes to mediation. Ms. Hoffman uses her own personal experiences and knowledge of personalities in conflict to effectively communicate with the parties. At the same time, Ms. Hoffman uses her court room experience and legal knowledge to deal with negotiating attorneys. I regularly propose using Ms. Hoffman as a mediator. When Ms. Hoffman is the mediator, I believe the chances of settlement have drastically increased.
Larry Rice, Family Attorney on Jan 14, 2011
Relationship: Worked together on matter
Sheree Hoffman is a highly respected mediator and deservedly so. As a lawyer with many years experience as a well respected trial lawyer Ms. Hoffman understands the law and the facts. Most significantly she brings to mediation an intuitive understanding of the personalities of the parties and their lawyers. Combining these talents makes Ms. Hoffman a very effective mediator who can bring closure to cases that would elude other mediators. Hire her if you can.
